      The biggest annoyance to me personally, with fediverse communities. Complete fragmentation.

      Not to say I want a centralised control, but something in the middle

        It does make establishing a critical mass of comments to make a good discussion difficult. I’ve had it once or twice where I discovered a post in one community commented and didn’t get any replies, only to discover some other discussion on the same content happened elsewhere on the fediverse that I wasn’t subscribed to.

          I heard someone describe it as discussing a topic in different bars. You’ll get a slightly different niche in each space. Has its pros and cons. But beats the centralization.

        I have to wonder if there is a way for clients to glom together duplicate posts across your subscribed communities into one, and if you reply to a thread in that post it passes it back to the correct discussion.

        I mean, you’d still see repetitive stuff in the post’s comments from your point of view, but everything would be in one place from your perspective and it would be semi-transparent, at least for the communities you subscribe to.

        All the information is there, it should be doable…

      This is what you’re supposed to do on the fediverse. Thank OP. Raise a bug with your frontend to add an option to dedupe your feed if it bothers you.
